Michaela's father, Cchris, would ask Michaela this question in relation to her posture. Was she relaxed? Was she holding her head up high? Michaela has Secondary Dystonia, a condition prompted by a difficult premature birth. Her muscles don't cooperate with her, tense and locked up.

She has received two cycles of stem cell transplants now. She and her father sat for interviews near the end of her second treatment. They also gave us home videos they had shot before and after her first treatment. You can watch those clips in the interview video above. We were struck by the new range of motion she displayed in the walker in 2010 against the stiff 2008 footage.

Head over to her full patient experience here for more information about her condition and her progress today.
